Thank you, Mary Lou Shaw Sad news,  Joe Shackelford passed away in Washington.  I received a letter from his daughter, Donna, a few days ago and he was in the hospital. I was planning to send the address on to you.  Today Helen Lucus called and he had passed away.  The funeral will be Wednesday AM in Rancho Cordova at his Church.  He will be buried in the Fair Oaks Cemetery.  A viewing will be held Tuesday evening 7-9 at the East Lawn Mortuary.  There will be an obituary in the Grapefine Friday, August 19th  and one in the Sac. Bee, Sunday. I hope to send more  details about the service tomorrow.   Joe was such a great gentleman and did so much for Genealogy and also the community.  He is a great loss to all.  Sincerely, Mary Lou
